Proverbs 21:10 Context
8The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure; his worke is right. 9It is better to dwell in a corner of the house top; then with a brawling woman in a wide house. 10The soule of the wicked desireth euill: his neighbour findeth no fauour in his eyes. 11When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiueth knowledge. 12The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked: but God ouerthroweth the wicked for their wickednesse.
